The global agriculture biotech market is envisioned to garner $214.6 billion by 2031, growing from $93.1 billion in 2021 at a CAGR of 8.8% from 2022 to 2031.
It has become relatively vital to raise agricultural yields to meet the growing population's need for food. This is now feasible thanks to biotechnology, which has improved disease and drought resistance of crops. To make plants immune to various illnesses, scientists choose certain disease-resistance genes and inject them into the DNA of the plants. As an illustration, Cornell University and the University of Hawaii collaborated to create two papaya seed variants that were immune to the papaya ringspot virus; these seeds were commercially available in 1998 following many field experiments. Crops grown in arid settings also have a great requirement for drought tolerance.
Agricultural biotechnology is still in its infancy, and it is unclear how it will affect the environment. However, studies have indicated that it could cause an increase in herbicide-resistant weeds. As was previously said, genetic engineering entails the exchange of certain genes across species. In that aspect, the technique may introduce undesirable genes into pests and plants, making it harder to get rid of them. Additionally, it might result in the creation of new microbes like bacteria and viruses by transferring genes that increase their virulence. Plants that have been genetically modified create novel compounds like proteins that might be harmful to wildlife.
Augmented reality (AR) technology generates an enhanced version of reality by adding text, audio, visuals, and multimedia to immediate and real-time surroundings. Virtual reality, on the other hand, builds a completely new world and places you inside of it. Even though they are not biotechnologies, AR and VR are examples of advancements that are going to change the way that agriculture is done. Augmented and virtual realities might advance biotechnology development by assisting sample selection, in addition to enabling farmers to visually monitor fields, assist in training new farmers, and assist in tool appraisal.
The COVID-19 pandemic brought several uncertainties leading to severe economic losses as various businesses across the world were on a standstill. The COVID-19 pandemic caused problems for the agriculture biotech sector. The movement of goods both domestically and internationally was slowed down by lockdowns and limits on people's freedom of movement. Lockdowns also made it more difficult to get staff at ports to unload ships and perform other trade processes including physical inspections, testing, and certifications. At the same time, several countries changed the regulations controlling port access, resulting in delays from port closures and requests for more paperwork and quarantine processes.
